North Korea launched projectiles, possibly a short-range ballistic missile, into the Yellow Sea, marking its eighth weapons test this year. This move escalates regional tensions and highlights Pyongyang's focus on modernizing its short-range missile program to evade defense systems. South Korea, the US, and Japan are on high alert, sharing intelligence.

Russia's Oreshnik missile, capable of Mach 10 speeds and MIRV warheads, struck Kyiv in retaliation for a Ukrainian drone attack. This hypersonic threat overwhelms current air defenses. India's Agni-V, a comparable MIRV-equipped IRBM, boasts Mach 24 speeds and advanced features, enhancing its survivability and strike capability.

Russia unleashed a fierce assault on Kyiv, deploying the nuclear-capable Oreshnik hypersonic missile alongside numerous drones and other advanced weaponry. This escalation followed Moscow's accusations of Ukrainian strikes on a student dormitory, which Kyiv denied.

Fresh US intelligence suggests Iran has resumed military production, including drones, much sooner than anticipated, raising concerns about its rapid arsenal regeneration. Tehran's strategy of decentralized manufacturing and reliance on commercially available components allows for swift replenishment of weapons like Shahed drones and Fateh missiles, even after recent strikes.

Russia on May 24 struck Ukraine with an Oreshnik hypersonic ballistic missile — a weapon Kyiv currently has no capability to intercept. Here’s what we know about this nuclear-capable missile

In a dramatic display of military strategy, Operation Sindoor witnessed India targeting Pakistani airbases and intercepting their missiles, ultimately facilitating a quick resolution. This incident emphasizes the delicate nuclear dynamics between India and Pakistan, two nations holding nearly equivalent stockpiles. Despite their varied approaches to weapon usage, both countries utilize a nuclear triad, essential for their deterrence capabilities.

Russia launched a large overnight missile and drone assault on Ukraine, reportedly using Oreshnik, Iskander, Kinzhal and Zircon missiles in retaliation for Ukrainian attacks inside Russia. Ukrainian authorities said two people were killed and 56 injured in strikes across Kyiv. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claimed Russia used the hypersonic Oreshnik missile, causing widespread damage to homes, schools and infrastructure.

Kyiv endured a massive overnight aerial assault, with Russia deploying over 700 drones and 50 missiles, including the hypersonic Oreshnik. The barrage, described as one of the war's most intense, struck government buildings and residential areas, causing casualties and widespread damage. Russia stated the strikes targeted military facilities in retaliation for Ukrainian attacks.

Russia successfully test-fired its new Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile, dubbed 'Satan II' by the West, a powerful weapon Putin claims will enter service by year-end. This modernization of nuclear forces comes amid claims the Ukraine conflict is nearing its end.

Russia's S-400 missile defense system deliveries to India are proceeding as scheduled, bolstering New Delhi's aerial shield with an additional squadron. This advanced system, a key component of India's air defense, is recognized for its precision and lethal accuracy in engaging various aerial threats.

India and Pakistan possess nearly identical nuclear arsenals, yet their doctrines diverge significantly. India adheres to 'No First Use' and aims for a minimum deterrent, while Pakistan's 'Full Spectrum Deterrence' counters India's conventional strength. India is expanding its nuclear triad, focusing on survivability and reach, while Pakistan emphasises tactical nuclear weapons and flexible options, raising escalation risks.

Russia has successfully tested its new RS-28 Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile, dubbed 'Satan II' by NATO. President Putin hailed it as the world's most powerful nuclear weapon, capable of carrying multiple warheads and evading missile defenses.

Is an Iran deal actually close, or is Trump prepared to wait? Here’s what we know about what each side may give up on the six issues that matter most

India's recent MIRV-equipped Agni missile test propels its strategic program into global focus. This advancement, a culmination of decades of indigenous development, significantly bolsters India's nuclear deterrence, ensuring survivability and credible retaliation against evolving threats. The Agni series now forms a crucial pillar of India's nuclear triad, reflecting its growing technological prowess and geopolitical ambitions.

India's defence self-reliance receives a significant boost as DRDO successfully completes final trials for its unmanned aerial vehicle launched precision guided missile (ULPGM)-V3. Developed entirely within the Indian defence ecosystem, the missile is ready for mass production, confirming a mature domestic supply chain.
